Cavs are pretty solid with Mozgov in there. I'm really impressed watching him against the Clippers tonight. If they stay healthy, I'm guessing it's going to be a Hawks/Cavs Eastern Conference Finals. Raptors, Bulls, and Wizards could all potentially get there, but they need to make some moves and/or figure things out in-house before the playoffs to have a chance.

It's too bad that team has so much money tied up in Eric Gordon and Tyreke. AD is so young it doesn't really matter, but it's crazy that a 21 year old is already good enough to be an absolute number 1 franchise cornerstone and they do have really good roleplayers around him with Anderson and Asik. Jrue is probably overpaid as well but at least he's a decent PG. Replace those two guys with just average NBA players and that team would look even better than it does now. If Tyreke would stop shooting...like entirely, he could probably even be a productive roleplayer because of all the other things he does on the court, but he'll never be worth that giant contract he got and it's just horrible coaching to let him shoot 15 times a game. Gordon just plain sucks AND can't stay healthy. At this point he should probably just be a bench 3 point shooter but obviously you aren't going to pay that guy 15 million.

Man, Rubio last night! He's so amazing to watch and he has improved this team so much since coming back!

CP3 fined 25k for calling female ref bad

"Some of [the technical fouls] were ridiculous," Paul said. "The tech that I get right there was ridiculous. I don't care what nobody says, I don't care what she says; that's terrible. There's no way that can be a tech. We try to get the ball out fast every time down the court, and when we did that, she said, 'Uh-uh.' I said, 'Why, uh-uh?' And she gave me a tech.

"That's ridiculous. If that's the case, this might not be for her."

That's the standard fine for criticizing officials. Can we stop making everything an issue? (Not this board. Society.)

I like how they were trying to say he was calling her bad because shes female. Don't think anyone gives a fuck about gender when they just made a wrong call.

Craziest shit about Hassan? 14.4 RPG in 28 mins during his last 10. That is insane to get a board every 2 mins.

Gilg's gonna win the fantasy league because of Whiteside (and maybe DJ Augustin's crazy play).

When the Hawks hit the gas pedal they are a very scary team. Watching last night's Twolves/Hawks game they hit the gas pedal in the 3rd and it seemed so effortless. They play a beautiful form of basketball.

Covington is a decent pickup but yeah, Green, is good. I actually had him for a while but didn't think he would stick to the full time rotation minutes that he's had. Marc Jackson probably would have put David Lee back at 30+ a night but Kerr's a little smarter than that.
